sw1NDLED BY A FoRTUNE-TELLER.
Over month ago a clairvoyant from Chicago,
who pretended to possess wonderful faculty
for reading the future of persons established an
Office on West Market street. She advertised
her business extensively, and soon drew great
deal of custom. She had a great many lady
visitors who expressed desire to have their |
fortunes told, but complained of having no |
money. The clairvoyant suggested to all such |
that if they had cloaks of value she would take |
them and hold them until a certain day as |
guarantee of the payment of the charge for serv-
ices. The plan met with favor from quite a |
number of ladies' who left wraps to be redeemed |
on a certain day. The clairvoyant arranged for |
the redemption OF all the cloaks on the same |
day, and two days before the time fixed she left |
the city with the stock, and has not been heard |
from since. The police have knowledge of eight |
or ten fine cloaks she took away. Some of them
were worth much as $50, and few less than |
500. An effort has been made to ascertain to
what city she went after leaving here, but so far
1t has been unsuccessful
